Yeah, I got burned by buying Jedi Knight I. It was built for Win95 and there are all these hoops you have to jump through to get it to work every single time you start it up. Do your homework and you should be fine.

You can install it on as many PC's as you want, but you can only be logged into Steam playing it on 1 of them at any given time.

2. Do saves go to 'the cloud' so that if I play on my laptop and then switch to my home pc I can pick up where I left off?

Shadowrun Returns is not a Steam Cloud enabled game. It would be possible to copy the save file from 1 computer to another. To locate the save file you have to actually browse down into your "\Steam\userdata" folder and it will be in a "\remote\saves" folder for one of the numbered folders. It's not hard to identify which of those number folders, because the game uses an "autosave.sav" file name. If stuck you can just do a search for that filename.

Does Steam let you change your save folder, or is it always tied to your primary Steam folder? If you can alter it, using a Dropbox folder would let you do cloud saves even for games without official cloud save support.

Not 100% sure on this, but I think the numbered ID folders under the "\Steam\userdata" folder change from one PC to another. I've never really checked though.

I feel like such a Newb, I have been using steam off and on for a while now, and just discovered workshop for a couple of my games, I wouldn't even have looked if I didn't see it for Shadowrun..
